Integrating Google Maps API services into applications provides a great set of location based services for powerful functionality. If you write server side applications in Java or Python, accessing these APIs requires some way to talk to the Google Maps server REST APIs that provide the interfaces.

Google have built an open-source set of client libraries that take care of all the nitty-gritty detail of connecting, and managing Maps API services for both Java and Python.

Alex Danilo introduces these libraries, and what they do - allowing Java and Python server side application developers to save time integrating Maps API services into their applications.

These libraries streamline and simplify the work required to get an application up and running by taking care of things like retry for dropped connections, rate limiting to make sure applications manage their quota, and more.

Documentation for the client libraries is on the Google Developers Site here, and the open source project code is on github here.

OS OpenSpace Web-Map Builder allows you to build a map for your website through a four step process.
Step one allows you to decide on the size and location of your map. You can also add a search box if you are going to create an online map covering all of GB, so that users can search to a postcode or place name.
In step two you can add markers / pins to your map. You can also add content to these markers such as images, videos and website addresses.
If you are using OS OpenSpace to display a route, then step three of the web-map builder process does this. Simply click once at the start point and then double click to end your route. You can even reverse your routes through the click of a button.
If you need to make any changes to your map, you can always go back and make changes to any of the above steps.
When you are happy with your map, you can move on to step 4, where Web-Map Builder generates the JavaScript code for you. You will need a web editor that can word with JavaScript (most blog / web editors such as WordPress and Blogger can do this). All you then need to do is add in your API key number to the code and then copy and paste it into your web editor, for your customised online map.

Underground utilities such as cables/conduits are rarely seen and underground electrical vaults are complicated, dangerous, badly lit, and sometimes full of water (or frozen water). Vaults are hard to access and will often be missing records of what is inside of them. Using a camera and Autodesk Recap 360, ML&P Locates, Engineering, and Operations personnel are creating 3D models of these assets in hard to reach underground vaults for example. These 3D models are then made available to utility personnel through Recap 360 out in the field or back in the office.

For ConocoPhillips and ENI, correct digital asset information is important to support safe engineering processes like operations, maintenance, and modification. Accelerated operational readiness, integration of acquisitions, increased project complexity, or standardization at the portfolio level are just a few examples for areas where digital and actionable asset information is playing a central role.

There are different approaches to establish a high-quality engineering information asset.

ConocoPhillips will explain how it manages and validates information from engineering contractors during the project phase, how this information is handed over to operations, how it is further maintained, and how it adds value during the various phases. During this session, ConocoPhillips will not only focus on technology aspects but also discuss the importance of people and process change management.

ENI will share how a cloud-based service is allowing ENI to foster collaboration between the ENI E&P Engineering & Construction organization (HQ, Tecnomare, and ENI Engineering E&P) as well as multiple engineering contractors during project execution on a global scale. The expected benefits of this 24/7 SaaS model include improved engineering information quality as well as significantly lower cost and complexity of engineering information handover.

If you are challenged with high-quality engineering information exchange on complex, global, or multi-vendor projects, hear solutions from industry leaders and make plans to attend this keynote.

Dramatic disruptions to Earth observation are being delivered by ambitious startups that are launching large fleets of small, interconnected satellites and developing cutting-edge analytics. The number of earth-gazing satellites has nearly doubled in 2014 alone. With views into daily global activity being refreshed at a faster rate than ever before, selling raw pixels and signals is not enough to satisfy industry demands. It is these startups that are changing how we use Big Data in business here on earth.

Responding to ever-expanding industry demands by delivering “near real-time” data and developing cutting-edge analytics at a lower cost, these startups are providing actionable insights for many industries. Finance, insurance, agriculture, forestry, fishing, mapping, manufacturing, shipping, mining, sustainable industries, and energy enterprises are using eyes and ears in the sky to make better decisions and improve operational efficiency with actionable data sent ultimately from space.

As funding moves rapidly from government to commercial, the global market for satellite-sourced intelligence is predicted to grow by over $5 billion by 2019. Venture capital firms such as DFJ Venture and Khosla Ventures are investing in innovative startups, with successful exits like the recent acquisitions of satellite operator Skybox Imaging by Google for $500 million and climatology Big Data analytics venture The Climate Corporation by Monsanto for nearly $1 billion.

Why are industry giants eager to consume data from the sky? Which markets will be transformed using Big Data from Space? Join us on Wednesday October 22, 2014 to find out.

Many owner operators are beginning to clearly understand the benefits they could realize by truly managing their engineering information and enabling the various functions and disciplines to leverage trustworthy engineering information for their day-to-day operational activities.

In a recent survey, approximately 60 percent of owner operators said that ready access to trustworthy information is most critical for process safety management, maintenance, reliability, and modification-related activities. On the other hand, the same percentage of owner operator personnel isn't completely confident that they would be able to quickly locate appropriate engineering information in an emergency situation.

Told through a real-world example at one of the world's largest power plants, this session will discuss three key questions that most owner operators are grappling:

• How can you incrementally create an effective, accurate engineering information asset for brownfield plants that have been operational for many years?
• How can you minimize the cost and schedule to capture the digital plant asset?
• How can you maximize the value of that engineering information?

If you are an owner operator with brownfield facilities and thinking about strategies for digital assets, or if your company is delivering services in this context, you should attend this keynote.

GeoLearn founders Joe Paiva and Bob Morris were guests on the National Society of Professional Surveyors Radio Hour with Curt Sumner recently. Here's a clip from that interview. The entire interview can be heard on www.Ameicaswebradio.com in the archive for the NSPS Radio Hour with Curt Sumner.

In this tutorial we will display the creation process of an assembly named 'Vise'. It will be created by using part modeling /assembly modeling functionality of Autodesk Inventor Software.
The vise model has three sub-assemblies. Each assembly is has modeled part as well as content center parts. The parts are to be created individually not in context or with reference of other parts of the assembly, after wards they are placed into the assembly and by using assembly mates they are fitted according to the design.
So in this way viewers will be able to observe the application of many 2D sketching and 3D features of software along with usage of different mates.
To create the Dynamic Simulation of this assembly visit the following link:--
